Christopher has been a devotee since he first discovered the world of fine tea many years ago. He has offered classes and tastings at Teahouse Kuan Yin, the Northwest Tea Festival, and Wine Tea Chocolate, a teahouse / cafe´ he founded that has since transformed into a wine & whiskey lounge. Christopher has always been interested in the history, science, and philosophy of tea, and enjoys sharing these with people. Christopher developed the Tea Flavor Wheel in 2009, a visual tool that helps people recognize and characterize the flavors and aromas in tea.
